About Us

EPEC Group is a nationally recognised high-voltage engineering and EPC partner, providing HV power engineering, EPC (for substations, lines and BESS BoP), testing and compliance services, along with market modelling, SCADA and Hardware-in-the-Loop capability.

Since being founded in 2019, EPEC has grown rapidly to become a trusted delivery partner on some of Australia's most complex renewable energy projects, from 400 MW solar farms and 200 MW battery storage systems to 330 kV substations delivered for international developers entering the Australian market for the first time. Founded by specialists in power system engineering, project delivery and generator compliance, our mission is to simplify the grid connection process and remove the uncertainty that costs projects time and money.

We manage connections to the National Electricity Market (NEM) through end-to-end solutions, from pre-enquiry through to connection, registration, testing, compliance and commercial operations. What sets EPEC apart is that everything is delivered in-house: power system modelling, EPC construction, SCADA, commissioning and compliance testing, all under one roof and one point of accountability.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Power Systems Engineer to join our team in Melbourne.

You’ll be working alongside some of the most respected technical leaders in the industry, in a team that genuinely collaborates and backs each other. The projects are large, challenging and genuinely impactful — the kind that shape Australia’s energy future.

You’ll be hands‑on delivering complex power system studies - using tools like PSS/E, PSCAD, PowerFactory and Hypersim — and playing a key role in getting major renewable projects connected to the grid.

If you want work that stretches you, people you can learn from, and projects you’ll be proud to put your name to, you’ll feel at home here.

About You

• Bachelor of Electrical Engineering recognised by Engineers Australia
• Minimum 4 years' experience in the electrical engineering industry
• Experience with power system analysis tools such as PSS/E, PSCAD, PowerFactory and Hypersim in RMS and EMT environments
• Familiarity with engineering codes, regulations, best practices and performance standards
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a high level of written accuracy and attention to detail
• Professional Engineer registration (RPEV, RPEQ or equivalent) is well regarded, as is an interest in working towards Chartered Engineer status

Why Join EPEC Group?

You will work on grid connections for renewable generation and large energy users, with direct exposure to the studies, compliance and registration work behind them. EPEC delivers modelling, EPC, SCADA and commissioning in-house, so you work alongside the people who build and test what you design.
